Summary
“You don’t have to run away already,” Lune said.
“I’m not—” Gustave cut himself off, knowing it was useless, and sighed.
“I thought you and Verso had already broken the ice. Haven’t you spoken a few times?”
“That was before,” he said.
“Before you knew.”
“Yeah.”

Summary
Gustave tried to remind himself that he actually enjoyed showing new people around the wildlife rehabilitation facility. Most of the times he did this, he was able to tell someone something new, and watch a spark light up in their eyes. It even happened with snooty rich people. Sometimes.
That was how the three Dessendre siblings found him.

Summary
“I want to die.”
That gets his attention — Gustave’s eyes fly wide open, and he takes a step back. Like Verso is a lunatic who is better to be avoided. “I beg your pardon?”
“I want to die,” Verso repeats. “And I can’t do it on my own. You’re one of the smartest men in Lumière, you’re good with chroma. I need your help.”
Or: Verso is trying to find a way out. Gustave helps.

Summary
Against all odds, Lumiere survived.
Maelle did her very best to restore the city and repaint everyone that she could reach - and then she left. Now the city stands, promising a future; tomorrow has finally come and Gustave... has no idea what to do with it.
For the first time in generations people have started looking towards the Continent not as expeditioners, but as settlers. There is just one problem: Nevrons still exist. If they are to ask Maelle to paint a bridge between the continent and Lumiere when she next visits, they need settlements on both its ends, under a shield dome.
But the original plans for the dome's construction have been lost and, unfortunately for Gustave, the one who might be able to help is one Verso Dessendre - the man who let him die... and the one who might just show him what tomorrow's for. But while Gustave slowly rediscovers the man all call a traitor, Verso struggles to confront the terrifying possibility that there might still be things in this world worth living for.

Summary
There were several changes happening in Gustave's otherwise quiet life in Lumière. Emma got married and moved away, his hardware store closed, and a new neighbor moved into the cottage next door. A neighbor who played the piano in the middle of the night and who might be too handsome for Gustave to handle. A neighbor who Gustave liked to imagine was playing a song for him.
Or Gustave has the biggest crush on his new neighbor, Verso, and can't believe that his upper class neighbor might also have eyes for him as well.

Summary
Verso does not want this life. Maelle gave it to him anyway. And because the winner takes it all, he has no choice but to remain.
Learning to live is not an easy thing when you have spent so long existing for a purpose you never chose. It is even harder when you have to stand beside the people you once believed you had to sacrifice.
But perhaps, through bonds he never believed he could build, even someone like Verso can learn that existing is not the same as living.

Summary
As he nears thirty‑two, Gustave has accepted the verdict written in medical journals and whispered like a curse: Soul fragmentation. Psychological irregularity. Inability to form core identity. Attachment disorders. Existential vacancy.
He's not getting a familiar.
But the familiar system was never made for creatures like Verso—an ancient myth older than civilization, a primordial creature who has spent centuries searching for a host who wouldn’t die under him.
Gustave isn't broken.
He’s the only one who can hold a worldbreaker.Or, the Familiar AU nobody asked for, but I wanted a wolf!Verso real bad
